I am quite serious when I say no other word in the English language gives me so much trouble for spelling. I hope I am not the only idiot who cannot fucking spell this word. And it’s not like this is “wankel-rotary engine” (which I confess I probably use MORE), this is NECESSARY. The word itself describes its own usefulness. We NEED it.
But I always want to write “necesarry”. It’s within the unwritten “rules” of English, if there are any, which there aren’t. I could write “neseserrie” and it’s still okay.
The trouble comes with that double-S single-R at the end. I seem to be addicted to the -arry spelling of the AR-e sound, as in “carry” and “marry”. What makes me feel supremely dumb is when I pull out my rhyming dictionary (just now) and find there seem to be a lot more words that end in -ary, words such as “scary”, “binary”, “arbitrary”, “fiduciary”, and even other loved words, like “supernumerary” and “eleemosynary“.
“Necesarry” still looks okay to me. Can’t I please get away with misspelling this word without feeling like a doofus? I can spell everything else…Doesn’t everybody get one?

[...] “Vag” is a slightly derogatory term for the vagina, used as slang. But the reason I love it so much is because it is typically used by women to refer to their own parts as crudely as possible. Just like “vagina” it is completely lacking in sexual undertones, but unlike “vagina” it is not sterile and medical. It is bizarre and filthy. One does not have sex with a vag, or examine a vag, one crams objects in a vag. A vag is not clean and ladylike, it is filthy and oozing with stinking putrid fluids. And that is why I love this word. It deliberately calls attention to the negative aspects of vaginas, sort of how the word “junk” makes light of a man’s parts, which on first examination are completely unnecessary. [...]
[...] an obstacle course to read, I can safely estimate that at least 200 pages of this shitty book are unnecessary filler, which means you skimped on [...]
